Or even building rapport on the phone?

Though we cannot assist with owner-occupied, DSCR loans are typically going to be 1.5-2% origination + $1500-$2500 in underwriting/admin/legal fees. 

You know him better, so use your intuition to determine the best way to have this conversation.Silly question, and maybe I am just naive, but don't most contractors bake these admin/reimbursement costs into their total quote?

if you have deal machine put the address there, most of the time lists their relatives with phone numbers already, so you don't have to skip trace it. comes with the application. 

Of course, it's going to be hard to get your first customer, but if you make 100-200 phone calls, you'll get one.I'm currently furnishing a place to get market ready and it's the worst.

Is there anyone who has 15 mins for a phone call/Zoom as a sanity check on this final offer?

My favorite is to implement a direct mail drip combined with phone call and personal visit follow up.

I charge a $200 cleaning fee and $100 admin fee, $300 refundable deposit plus rent at move in.

Recommendation letters would be fine as well, but personally, I think talking to them over the phone is more ideal as it's easier to get answers and just a better understanding of the tenant. 

As an aside, the old management company (that I terminated a couple weeks ago) gave the tenant my personal cell phone number so I got a call from her yesterday which was awkward and highly unprofessional.
